If you have a question about this talk, please contact jttg2. Discussing how the new Ottoman government was perceived and how this image was constructed from the beginning of the Young Turk era to the onset of the Balkan Wars, this research will analyse the interaction of Orientalist tropes, British interests, and events occurring within this period. While work has been done on Ottoman-British relations, such research focuses solely on political relations. Furthermore, very little study has specifically examined British-Turkish relations and perceptions in the period before 1938 – instead, scholars have been inclined to focus on the Second World War and subsequent periods. By debating the continuities, complexities, and contradictions of perception within the intellectual pursuit of image construction during this pivotal period, this research will therefore work towards explaining how Britain perceived the Ottoman Empire in this time of great flux and, to an extent, how this impacts how Britain understands Turkey today.
